    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

X-Plane 1st thoughts

Last set, I have to get back to my FSX project.

In my travels I noticed a carrier off the coast. I took up a Phantom to see if I could land on it. As I lined up I started getting commands on my line up in a computer voice.

1st attempt I had to wave off but my 2nd go I caught a wire. Interestingly all you have to do is taxi on top of the catapault & it automatically arms. The shot isnt as smooth as FS but it does accomplish its purpose.

Nice shots of the carrier. Still looking for it. Like you said maybe its moving around too much.

start off at KEWR and fly east, past the verrazano narrows bridge and past that should be not only a carrier but also an oilrig, go under environment and click local map and look for USS Laminar.
 
I was starting to get a headache from Max so I took my B430 up & happened upon an oil rig.

The rigs have 2 helipads & 2 of the cranes are animated.
 
Soon as I get another harddrive, I'll install my copy I got a few months back. I tried it before with 7 I think it was and wasn't impressed. My luck is I'll like it and have even lass free time trying to design for it, lord knows it needs some scenery, LOL.

What were you making in max Bob? 3D porn?? :typing:
 
The carrier was off Ft. Lauderdale also.

I had cars and trains in AI.

I am running 9.30B5

VCN-1
 
From what I have seen thus far every time you start a flight near the coastline XP automatically sets a Carrier, Cruiser & oil rig in close proximity to where your flight started.
 
That could be, I started a flight at Syracuse airport last night, and there was a carrier and frigate in Lake Ontario! I landed my Piper Malibu on the carrier. :)
